portCfgPersistentEnable 2 portCfgPersistentEnable Enables a port persistently. Synopsis portcfgpersistentenable [[slotnumber/]portnumber] Description Use this command to persistently enable a port. Persistently enabled ports remain enabled across power cycles, switch reboots, and switch enables. By default, a port is enabled persistently, unless the port is capable of routing. The change in configuration is effective immediately. A persistent port enable re-enables all previously set port configurations of that port. A persistently enabled port can temporarily be disabled by the portDisable or switchDisable command. The switchDisable command will also disable the persistently enabled ports of that switch. The persistent switch disable or enable configuration does not alter the persistent disable or enable configurations of the ports within the switch. Notes If this port is connected to another switch, then the Fabric may reconfigure. If this port is connected to one or more devices, the devices can now communicate with the Fabric. The configuration commands configDefault and portCfgDefault do not modify the persistent enable attribute of a port. This command is not allowed if the switch is operating in the FICON Management Server mode (fmsmode). Instead use portEnable with Active=Saved Mode enabled. For ports that come Online after being enabled, the following indications may be sent to indicate a state transition: RSCN, SNMP trap, Web pop-up window. The front panel LED of an enabled and online port is green. Operands This command has the following operands: slotnumber For bladed systems only, specify the slot number of the port to configure, followed by a slash (/). portnumber Specify a port number to configure, relative to its slot for bladed systems. Use switchShow to display a list of valid ports. This operand is optional; if omitted, this command displays the persistently enabled condition for all ports. Examples To configure a port as persistently enabled and then display all ports that are persistently enabled: switch:admin> portcfgpersistentenable 9/3 switch:admin> portcfgpersistentenable Slot 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 Enabled YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES (output truncated) See Also ficonCupSet, ficonCupShow, portDisable, portEnable, portCfgPersistentDisable, portCfgShow, portShow, switchShow Fabric OS Command Reference 453 53-1000599-01
